Novel Coronavirus 2019

A novel
coronavirus is any recently discovered coronavirus of medical significance not
yet permanently named. Although coronaviruses are endemic in humans and infections are
normally mild, crossspecies transmission has produced some unusually virulent strains which
can cause viral pneumonia and in serious cases even acute respiratory distress syndrome. The
following viruses could initially be referred to as "novel coronavirus", often with retroactive
addition of the year of discovery , before being given a permanent designation : All four
viruses are part of the Betacoronavirus genus within the coronavirus family. The word
"novel" indicates a "new pathogen of a previously known type" of virus. Use of the word
conforms to best practices for naming new infectious diseases published by the World Health
Organization in 2015. Historically, pathogens have sometimes been named after locations,
individuals, or specific species. However, this practice is now explicitly discouraged by the
WHO.
Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and
birds. In humans , coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can be mild , such as
some cases of the common cold, and others that can be lethal, such as SARS, MERS, and
COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary : in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory
tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or
antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections. Human coronaviruses were
first discovered in the late 1960s. The earliest ones discovered were an infectious bronchitis
virus in chickens and two in human patients with the common cold. Other members of this
family have since been identified, including SARS-CoV in 2003, HcoV NL63 in 2004,
HKU1 in 2005, MERS CoV in 2012 and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019. Most of these have involved
serious respiratory tract infections.
